IM Nutrient Therapy

Intramuscular (IM) nutrient therapy is a safe way of getting nutrients directly into our system. Due to the abundant blood supply to our muscles, injected nutrients can be quickly dispersed by circulation.

Similar to intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy, IM can completely bypass the digestive system and liver, where nutrients are often metabolized or altered for elimination.

When would you use IM over IV?

IM nutrient therapy is the faster method of administration. It can provide quick boost of nutrients. IM also provides more location-specific treatment compared to IV, for example, IM is used a lot in “intramuscular release” where nutrients are injected directly into sites of muscle pain to nourish and relax the muscles.

Some common Indications of IM nutrient therapies include:

Muscle pain, spasm, and strain

Fatigue

Headache/Migraines

Detox Support

Weight Loss & Body Sculpting

Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies

The only limitation of IM is that it can only inject a small volume of nutrients into the tissue because our muscles can only accommodate limited amount of fluids.

Is It Safe?

IM Nutrient Therapy is generally regarded as a safe treatment. Mild side effects may include dull ache at site(s) of injection, warmth and flushing due to increase circulation, and light-headedness. These discomforts typically get better shortly after treatment.
